The Rolling Stones have chosen AEG Live to promote their upcoming North American tour, according to concert-business sources privy to the tour negotiations, after the concert giant made what one source calls “a real crazy offer” of between $4 million and $5 million per show. AEG tentatively plans to announce the tour in early April.
